Ok it seems that Symmetric MultiProcessing is broken for the IXP4xx arch
when compiling the OpenWRT linux kernel. Since netmap requires SMP to be
active. Netmap uses the real_num_rx_queues field from the netdev_rx_queue
which requires CONFIG_SYSFS, which is active when CONFIG_SMP is active.

I just posted at the OpenWRT development mailing list, requesting info and
also, contacted Ryan Erbstoesser at Gateworks to also request info.
